what type of surgeries are available to get rid of the scars?

I have very minimal scarring but since the surgery I have splurged on myself and I finally appreciate how I look. I want to look my best. Does anyone know of surgeries or procedures that are available to get rid of the small scars on our tummies and make them look as close to normal as possible?

I've heard some stuff about laser surgeries.

Any information would be appreciated. In the US or even Mexico. I've racked up another 425,000 miles since my surgery so I can def. go to Mexico again if needed.

I don't have excess skin, but I do have scarring.

I've been using scarfade gel since my incisions scabbed over. I already knew I tend to keloid and I previous used the gel for the pox marks and scarring on my face from a really severe bout of shingles. The gel is pricey, but I already knew it would work well on me. I have also heard about a process called Venus Freeze that a few of my make up friends have recommended. Dermabrasion might also assist with scar removal. If you do any treatments like Venus Freee or Dermabrasion, please do your due diligence and make sure you get a licensed esthetician or dermatologist.
